  1. I've been working out on a 4-day split since February 1st. I do Day 1: Back/Biceps Day 2: Legs Day 3: Chest/Triceps Day 4: Shoulders/Abs 1 Day off Want to make sure I'm adequately "changing it up". A sample Leg Day for me looks like: Squats Warm up Set Squats 3 sets x 8-12 reps Deadlifts 3 sets x 8-12 reps Leg Extensions 1 set 8-12 reps Leg Extensions 2 supersets Single Leg Lying Leg Curls 3 sets 8-12 reps Calf raises on Leg Press machine (toes facing outwards) 5 sets x 15-20 reps If I can crank out a few more reps on a set and do say 15 reps, I'll go ahead and do the remaining reps. When I'm changing up my leg routine, sometimes I'll do stiff-legged deadlifts. Sometimes I'll do lunges instead. Squats are such a good compound exercise, should I ever "change it up"? My goal for training is to gain mass. Sometimes I'll change up my rep range and go for 4-6 reps or 6-8 reps to focus on gaining a little more strength, but I noticed I def get a lot more lower back stiffness when doing the heavier squats. Also, for other days like shoulders, I always use the barbell to do overhead presses (sometimes behind the head, sometimes in front). Should that always just be a staple in my shoulder day or should I ever "change it up" and not use it in my shoulder day? Maybe you can just switch it up and just use dumbbells to do overhead presses? Is there any benefit in this? Thanks! -Chris
